OK, to those of you who know ...
How rapidly can production of these complex and expensive (reportedly at least $1.5 million each) weapons can be ramped up?
The problem with “smart” weapons is that they are sent to a geo location. Nothing more than an X,Y,Z with no regard for whether or not their intended audience is there. Eyes on is the only certainty in the game of warfare.
One Tomahawk = one round of golf considering security, AF1 etc. No wonder he cut back!
That’s liberalism. Act for the moment with other peoples money and without their consent.
I’m waiting for my War On Poverty peace dividend.
All Obama needs is about 45 days worth of missiles. After the election, he will declare the war against ISIS to be won and will move on to other things. Enough of this silly line of thinking that our military capability is being degraded.
You misunderstand . . . I said we could have up to 100 missle thingies at a time. We shot off 47 of them, so we are immediately requesting them to be replaced. We’ve warmed up the zerox and should have the money to pay for them by sometime around 11:30 E.S.T.
No questions, I have an important tee time.

“now that an air war which was not planned is underway:”
Those unplanned wars are always a bitch.
WHY is this public information?
While I don’t like the prospect of such a low procurement number, having 4,000 of these missiles on hand is a pretty good buffer. I’d like to know just how many were expended on Saddam to see if this is a problem. I’d be more comfortable if we had a real government making these decisions however. They are a limited use weapon against an enemy like ISIS. Bring in the A-10’s and lets turn the sand red.
The Muslim in the White Mosque ordered “Mo butter for my Bastards” instead of guns.
Yes, far too many Obama voters are bastards. Allowing FedGov to subsidize industrial scale bastard farming produced exactly what the Democratic Party planned. Specifically, it produced a huge number of dependent urban voters, life long Parasitic Persons.
Time for a national vermifuge.
Jimmy Carter looks at the success zerobama has had subduing our military and he wets himself, wishing it could have been him and happened on his watch, as he watches zerobama surpass what defined him, his presidency and his legacy.
I was unaware that Syria had that many aspirin factories...
What ordinance and equipment was used by the coalition forces in this attack? Or is Obama and Company just blowing smoke again?
What moron wrote this piece telling the enemy our weapon strength? If they used 47 missiles and it’s 47% of the year’s allotment, then it’s not too difficult to figure out what our reserve is.
Sounds like Clinton.
Package for Mr. Mohammed. Package for Mr. Mohammed.
Ahhh, I can hear the Reluctant Warrior stepping to the microphones now.
“Not my fault that the war with ISIS is over. We simply ran out of missiles.”
What actual damage did we cause to Isis, last night? Are they still selling oil?
